The tea ceremony will be a twist on a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Step into a surreal pastel world of plastic and sweets. The performance piece is influenced by current Japanese culture. The artist Emma Chipperfield lived in Japan for 4 months and encountered many cultural contradictions from traditional Japanese culture to modern.
.
The tea ceremony represents the decline of Japanese culture into fake and cheap ‘kawaii’ culture, but at the same time is also designed to be a celebration of what makes Japanese culture so unique with a mixture of criticism and enjoyment. Transport yourself into a world where cuteness is a lifestyle. Drink up the atmosphere and interact with the tables of cute objects!

Joy of Sound is a ‘ground-breaking project that enables people with multiple disabilities, carers, volunteer musicians and artists, and all-comers, to make music together on an equal and inclusive basis’.
.
The group is supported by a wonderful team of facilitators who have experience of working with people with a whole range of musical abilities. So come along and join in!
.
Facilitators use a variety of techniques; listening, watching, mirroring, reacting and reflecting, searching for the slightest sound or gesture to be the seed of an improvisation. A group orchestration is built by amplifying and developing the initial seed, then introducing and interweaving new themes offered by other participants. Building into an increasingly complex harmonic circle. It’s a richly rewarding experience!
